NEW York, March 15.-The expert
accountant employed by O. L. Web
ster & Co. to examine the books kept
by Frank M. Scott, who is accused OF
having Incorporated more than
$4,000. has made statement to the
firm. The statement says that the
sales books were found to be correct
The cash books showed that Scott re-
ceived in cash bills and checks
amounts agyregating $1,207, ,564 from
July, 1885, to March 5, 1885, and that
during the same time paid out 81, ,105,-
1914, thus leaving balance of Sl01,-
844 to be accounted for March 9th. On
that date there was in the bank and in
Scott's cash book $Sl ,606, leaving de-
ficit Of $40, ,23S The expert claims 10
have discovered that Scott attempted
to conceal the alleged shortage by
false entries in the cash book. There
is a iurther item Of $4,000 under
scrutiny.
